Big names hit: 10 players injured this international break 🏥 | OneFootball

The international break often causes concern for clubs that send players off to their national teams, and in recent days that headache has been justified.

Key players from some of the world’s most powerful clubs have picked up physical issues and left their national teams early.

The current international break is longer than usual for this time of year, with national teams having up to four matches to play over the course of two weeks.

And even before reaching the final stretch of this period, we already have a notable list of players who have suffered some kind of injury or discomfort.

Check out the list below:

Raphinha - Brazil / Barcelona

The forward came off at halftime in the 2nd friendly against Australia after feeling discomfort in his thigh.
